jake tapper, first of all, welcome to the cnn family. as i think wolf blitzer told you earlier, you just have to work hard, keep your nose clean and let wolf deal with the work. that's what i tend to do. a fascinating day in many ways in washington as they have been a lot recently. the president seemed to me to be a man who realizes he probably hasn't achieved enough to guarantee his legacy whatever he sees that to be. he looked pretty determined, pretty up for a fight and laid out a radical plan as many are seeing that has been much more liberal than in the past. as if to say, right, this is me and i'm going to go for it. what was your reading of it? >> i think we have a different tone from president obama than we have in the past. there's an evolution of what he said in the democratic convention where he talked about there are no blue states, no red states, just the united states. a more assertive, bolder, if you will, version of that, except he is pushing forward asking for his vision, asking for a more progressive agenda talking abou

this is the first i've covered since being to cnn and there's a palpable, i think, anticipation in the air about what kind of barack obama we're going to see now that perhaps the shackles are off in the sense that he doesn't have to worry about being re-elected. he's got four years left and it's an opportunity for him to really go for it. >> well, i think we're going to see a president with a new level and a new kind of resolve as we did through the campaign. i think we're going to see some of the things we heard about already in terms of immigration reform and new moves around gun safety. i think we'll see some progress on the peacekeeping around the world, and we will see an emphasis on economic growth, which is absolutely key. >> now, he's obviously facing big, tough challenges certainly economically, and also with the republicans who still hold the house. it's a fine line, isn't it? he's already shown a sign since he got re-elected he's not going to take any nonsense from the republicans and he's being pretty tough on them. but that's not necessarily going to help him get stuff don

republican pollster, and the assistant managing editor of "fortune" magazine and cnn contributor and republican consultant. margaret, let me start with you. those are fighting words from governor christi. should he be commended for putting his people's needs really ahead of party politics, if you will? >> sure he should. but he's also a governor of a state that's struggling and hurting. they are down and out and christi has been lauded for being that guy since the election. a lot of republicans really despise him for doing what he did during the election. many still blame him for mitt romney's loss which is absurd. this is christi's job. he's a tough talker and he's fighting for his state. look, i'm really sympathetic to where christi is coming from. it's not like john boehner hasn't had anything else to do in last few days. boehner's juice is gone. he didn't necessarily have the votes to get another spending bill through his own house. and so he basically ended up lying and deceiving house republicans that he would bring this to the floor. and then he didn't. which is why the outrag

to thank you for getting every single interview i have been trying to get in the last two years on cnn, first of all. >> i have done well. a lot. >> let me ask you at the top, why do you think they keep coming to you, because there are two schools of thought. one is you're the most brilliant interviewer on television, and the other is that you give them a soft time. neither of which i suspect is entirely the truth. >> i think first of all, he likes "60 minutes." we have a huge audience. we have a format that suits him. it's long. we can do 12 minutes or 24 minutes. we do a good job of editing. and i have been doing these interviews with him since a few weeks before he declared his candidacy. so i covered him during the campaign and have kept doing it in the white house. but i think it's a question of fairness. we have not -- i think he knows that we're not going to play gotcha with him. we're not going to go out of our way to make him look bad or stupid, and we'll let him answer the question. >> and what i felt watching it, and it was gripping to watch, is about half an hour long, the

we found one that cnn authorized, a semi-automatic ar-15. it firing 15 bullets in six seconds. watch this. now, you can modify them to fire up to 100 in one minute, and my point that i keep putting to everyone that doesn't want any sort of control on guns is what would a civilian need a weapon like that for? now, p.j., have you heard any convincing argument as to why that kind of weapon should remain in civilian hands? >> well, no. however, i would suggest we have to turn the issue around. if guns is an impossible frame with which to make political progress, let's change that frame slightly. obviously, you go back to newtown, you had very significant weapons, military-style weapons in the hands of an angry young man who had obviously some kind of mental disorder. we have to make a commitment that the answer can't be we can't do anything, but then we have to come together and have a sensible conversation, not unlike the country had in the aftermath of 9/11 through an inspired bipartisan commission of some kind that says okay, what can we do that makes sense? and if we can get to
